Scientific paper

WHILE directing a small telescope towards Jupiter, at 9.35 P.M. on the 2nd inst., my attention was attracted by the bright light of what proved to be a large meteor, falling towards the south-western horizon. Its apparent size was two or three times that of Jupiter, its colour being green (very similar to that of burning silver), suddenly changing to a dull red on falling to pieces at the end of its course.
